Hondo Valley Public Schools

With the school year wrapping up - We start looking to the next one. A reminder that students that wish to play sports in the 2021-2022 school year will need a physical prior to beginning participation. The forms can be picked in the office or you can find them at www.nmact.org under the forms tab. Football practice will begin August 2 and volleyball will begin August 9 Have a good summer Eagles!

Super Proud of our 3 FFA Seniors! Kate, Fabian and Tommy! Made the top 5 in the State Livestock contest! Way to Go Hondo FFA!

Well everybody - another basketball season is in the books for Hondo Valley. Great job student-athletes and coaches! We want to congratulate Kate Cooper, Fabian Prudencio, Tommy Lucero and Elijah Montoya for receiving all district recognition. This will conclude our sports seasons this year as we will not participate in track this season, for various reasons. Coach Devine is planning a banquet/awards ceremony - more information on that will be coming soon.

Just a reminder to all of our loyal fans - the basketball games are about the student-athletes, not about your political views. We are required to abide by guidelines put into place in order that the students get to participate - we make these sacrifices for our kids! PLEASE wear your masks, and sit in designated seating at ball games.

Parents: The NMPED and the NM State Legislature are asking schools to implement programs that extend the school year to help mitigate any learning loss created by remote and hybrid learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Your child(ren) are bringing home a Learning Loss and Academic Mitigation SURVEY to get PARENTS INPUT on scheduling student academic interventions and tutoring that may impact the SY 2021-22 school calendar. Please complete the survey and have your child(ren) bring it back to school tomorrow Thursday April 15th and your child(ren) will receive a treat for promptly returning the survey! For more information about some of the NMPED extended school year programs please go to: https://5il.co/rkyr Your input is important to us, and as always thank you for your continued support

For our Home basketball games - just a reminder, the blue ticket is saving seats for the parents/family of our athletes - however it is NOT an admission pass, all spectators are required to pay the admission cost. This helps us be able to pay the officials. There is a little room for people without tickets, it is at a first come first serve basis, but once we reach that "cushion" number we will not let people without tickets in. Also, please help us follow the guidelines, No spectators are allowed to sit 5 rows behind the team benches, This is clearly marked on the south side of the gym. Please remember to wear your masks, social distance and be good sports. All of our home games are being streamed on the NFHS network.

Eagle fans - as we prepare for our upcoming home football game - there are a few items for us to think about. #1 - PLEASE adhere to the guidelines of mask wearing and 6 foot social distancing. This is important not only for our school but for all of the programs across the state. #2 - If it is at all possible, PLEASE park where you can stay in your car to watch the game. If that is not possible and you choose to sit in the back of a pickup or on lawn-chairs or in our stands - PLEASE follow the guidelines. #3 - probably the only "normal" request I have -PLEASE be positive and supportive of our team and good sports to everyone. #4 - There will NOT be concessions nor will there be restroom facilities available to the spectators. #5 - There will NOT be an admission charge. There will be a place at the entrance where you can make ANY size of a donation to help us pay for the officials. The team and coaches are excited to offer you this opportunity and we look forward to "playing our hearts out" for OUR COMMUNITY.
